Loving That Red!!

March 6, 2014

I have a thing for red. Oh yes! It grabs me every time, just keep going back to it over and over! The cooler reds appeal to me more, the ones with blue in them. But I have found if you have very little natural light in a room then a warmer red, like a tomato, can work really well. You could call this a Shabby Chic look, I suppose, but I think my taste really is English Cottage with Shabby Chic and Romantic Style all blended together! The roses in the pic stand out so pretty against the red. The silver in the mirror cools the red from being too warm.

Don't tell me....red isn't a neutral????? Yikes...don't tell my house :^)I started with reds in 1965......everything has changed since then, except the color :^) I am SO backward, that I still have a red wall in my dining room.....oh my...... and a humongous collection of red and white transferware in a hutch against the red wall...and lots of red toile too..... Is there any hope for me????signed,way out of date in the west:^)

Jaybird I think you have it all figured out! That sounds gorgeous and I bet it is beautiful! Love red and white and especially toile! I am sure your dishes are a delight in that red and white. Thanks for coming by!
